                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our God, wonderful in glory, who keeps Your promises to those 
who serve You, consecrate with Your presence the path You desire our 
lawmakers to take.
  Lord, kindle in the hearts of our Senators the true love of peace, 
and guide them with Your wisdom. May the faith they confess with their 
lips put such courage and hope in their hearts that they may live each 
day in the spirit of Your love. Cleanse them from every thought 
displeasing to Your goodness; that with pure hearts, clear minds, and 
calm hope, they may honor You.
  And, Lord, have mercy upon our war-torn world.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
